Hi all,

Just a few problems which are bugging me...i hope someone can help me out ;)

QUESTION 1:

I have a R33 Series 2 Gts-t with auto transmission.

I was fiddling around with the radio the other day trying to install a new Mp3 unit. After i was all done, the radio wouldnt turn on! The red dot that blinks when the engine is off still blinks but the unit itself wont work even after starting the engine. Furthermore, the clock also doesnt work! :)

Thinking i had blown a fuse, i opened the fusebox next to the steering column and there were three blown fuses.

I havent replaced these blown fuses yet but i was wondering how many more fuseboxes there are in my car... some threads mentioned a passenger footwell fusebox, an engine fusebox, and a rear boot fusebox as well...???

Do all of these boxes exist? Where?

QUESTION 2:

How the hell do i turn off that annoying reverse beeper?!!?!?

Is there a simple wire i can cut or do i have to remove the whole dash to rip the damn thing out?

QUESTION 3:

When my car is idling and when under mild/little throttle, the boost gauge is sitting on the negative areas? What does this mean? Is this normal? Im just confused because negative would mean are is being pushed OUT rather than INTO the engine...

Im a n00b so be nice :D

Cheers~!

Q1 - fuse boxes are located in the boot, under steering wheel and under the bonnet.

Q2 - yeah that noise pisses me off too....if anyone knows how to disable it let me know too!

Q3 - The boost guage is displaying 'negative' (vacuum pressure) on idle because there is no boost being created. This is normal.

been searching ever were.. thought id ask here..

ive just installed a hks front mount side flowing intercooler... something like 400 wide and so on.. car runs great.. alot beta.. but just wondering.

When you installed a larger cooler and more piping.. does this make my vacuum boost lower on my boost guage?.. ive noticed its like 1.5 to 3 psi lower than it was before... wish i wrote it down from stock.. but i never new... thanx for anyone that can clear this up.. replaced all boost lines and all while i was doing this.. maby a older line was causeing higher vacuum ? thanx oh one other thing.. ive noticed my boost go up be like 1 psi or 0.5psi... but im gussing a larger cooler would do that?.. thanx

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
